  • The compounds of Formula I are excitatory amino acid antagonists. They antagonize the effects which excitatory amino acids have upon the NMDA receptor complex. They preferentially bind to the strychnine-insensitive glycine binding site associated with the NMDA receptor complex. They are useful in the treatment of a number of disease states.
  • The compounds exhibit anti-convulsant properties and are useful in the treatment of epilepsy. They are useful in the treatment of grand mal seizures, petit mal seizures, psychomotor seizures, autonomic seizures, etc. One method of demonstrating their anti-epileptic properties is by their ability to inhibit the seizures that are caused by the administration of quinolinic acid. This test can be conducted in the following manner.
  • One group containing ten mice are administered 0.01 - 100 µg of test compound intracerebroventricularly in a volume of 5 microliters of saline. A second control group containing an equal number of mice are administered an equal volume of saline as a control. Approximately 5 minutes later, both groups are administered 7.7 micrograms of quinolinic acid intracerebroventricularly in a volume of 5 microliters of saline. The animals are observed for 15 minutes thereafter for signs of clonic-tonic seizures. The control group will have a statistically higher rate of clonic-tonic seizures than will the test group.
  • Another method of demonstrating the anti-epileptic properties of these compounds is by their ability to inhibit audiogenic convulsions in DBA/2 mice. This test can be conducted in the following manner. Typically one group of from 6-8 male DBA/2J audiogenic susceptible mice are administered from about 0.01 µg to about 100 µg of the test compound. The test compound is administered intracerebrally into the lateral ventricle of the brain. A second group of mice are administered an equal volume of saline control by the same route. Five minutes later the mice are placed individually in glass jars and are exposed to a sound stimulus of 110 decibels for 30 seconds. Each mouse is observed during the sound exposure for signs of seizure activity. The control group will have a statistically higher incidence of seizures than the group which receives the test compound.
  • The compounds of Formula I are useful for preventing or minimizing the damage which nervous tissues contained within the CNS suffer upon exposure to either ischemic, hypoxic, or hypoglycemic conditions or as the result of physical trauma. Representative examples of such conditions include strokes or cerebrovascular accidents, hyperinsulinemia, cardiac arrest, physical trauma, drownings, suffocation, and neonatal anoxic trauma. The compounds should be administered to the patient within 24 hours of the onset of the hypoxic, ischemic, or hypoglycemic condition in order for the compounds to effectively minimize the CNS damage which the patient will experience.
  • The compounds are also useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, glutaric acidaemia type I, Parkinson's disease, multi-infarct dementia, Lathyrism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, olivoponto cerebellar atrophy, motoneurone disease and neuronal damage associated with uncontrolled seizures. The administration of these compounds to a patient experiencing such a condition will serve to either prevent the patient from experiencing further neurodegeneration or it will decrease the rate at which the neurodegeneration occurs.
  • As is apparent to those skilled in the art, the compounds will not correct any CNS damage that has already occurred as the result of either disease, or a lack of oxygen or sugar. As used in this application, the term "treat" refers to the ability of the compounds to prevent further damage or delay the rate at which any further damage occurs. The compounds are also useful for treating musculoskeletal disorders of neurenal origin such as spasticity or myoclonus.
  • The compounds exhibit an anxiolytic effect and are thus useful in the treatment of anxiety. These anxiolytic properties can be demonstrated by their ability to block distress vocalizations in rat pups. This test is based upon the phenomenon that when a rat pup is removed from its litter, it will emit an ultrasonic vocalization. It was discovered that anxiolytic agents block these vocalizations. The testing methods have been described by Gardner, C.R., Distress vocalization in rat pups: a simple screening method for anxiolytic drugs. J. Pharmacol. Methods, 14:181-187 (1985) and Insel et al. Rat pup ultrasonic isolation calls: Possible mediation by the benzodiazepine receptor complex. Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav ., 24: 1263-1267 (1986).
  • The compounds also exhibit an analgesic effect and are useful in controlling pain. The compounds may also be co-administered with a narcotic analgesic such as morphine, demerol, etc. When co-administered, the compounds decrease the rate at which patients develop tolerance to the pharmacological effects of these narcotics. It is also believed that this co-administration will help to prevent the patient from becoming addicted to the narcotic. The compounds are also effective in the treatment of migraine. The compounds may be utilized either prophylactically to prevent the occurrence of a migraine or during a migraine episode to terminate the migraine symptoms.
  • In order to exhibit these therapeutic properties, the compounds need to be administered in a quantity sufficient to inhibit the effect which the excitatory amino acids have upon the NMDA receptor complex. The dosage range at which these compounds exhibit this antagonistic effect can vary widely depending upon the particular disease being treated, the severity of the patient's disease, the patient, the particular compound being administered, the route of administration, and the presence of other underlying disease states within the patient, etc. Typically the compounds exhibit their therapeutic effect at a dosage range of from about 0.1 mg/kg/day to about 50 mg/kg/day for any of the diseases or conditions listed above. Repetitive daily administration may be desirable and will vary according to the conditions outlined above.
  • It has been discovered that probenecid will potentiate the therapeutic activity of the excitatory amino acid antagonists of the present invention. Thus the compounds will exhibit their therapeutic effects at lower doses and for longer periods in patients who are concurrently receiving probenecid. The mechanism by which probenecid potentiates their effects is not fully understood, however it is believed that probenecid decreases the rate at which the compounds are removed from the central nervous system as well as decreasing the rate of excretion by the kidneys. Probenecid increases the effective concentration of these compounds in both the CNS and in the systemic circulation.
  • Probenecid is known in the art. It is available commercially from Merck Sharp and Dohme under the tradename Benemid® as well as being available from numerous other sources. Probenecid is a uricosuric agent and is utilized in the treatment of gout. Probenecid is a renal tubular transport blocking agent and has been utilized to increase plasma levels of penicillin. The pharmacology of probenecid is described in detail in the 45th Edition of the Physicians Desk reference on page 1379. Probenecid is currently available commercially as tablets. The sodium salt of probenecid is readily water soluble and injectable dosage forms can be prepared from this salt using techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
  • The compounds of the invention may be administered concurrently with probenecid in order to treat any of the diseases or conditions described above. The quantity of probenecid that is required to potentiate the therapeutic effects of the compounds can vary widely depending upon the particular compound being administered, the patient, and the presence of other underlying disease states within the patient, etc. Typically though, the probenecid may be administered at a dosage of from 0.5-3g/day. Repetitive daily administration may be desirable and will vary according to the conditions outlined above. The probenecid will typically be administered from 2-4 times daily.
  • With the concurrent administration of probenecid, the dosage range for the excitatory amino antagonists may be adjusted lower by a factor of from 2-10. Alternatively, the compounds of Formula I may be administered at the same dosage range in order to obtain an enhanced effect due to the higher therapeutic concentrations obtained.
  • The compounds of the present invention may be administered by a variety of routes. They are effective if administered orally. The compounds may also be administered parenterally (i.e. subcutaneously, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, or intrathecally).
  • Pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured utilizing techniques known in the art. Typically an antagonistic amount of the compound will be admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
  • For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated into solid or liquid preparations such as capsules, pills, tablets, lozenges, melts, powders, suspensions, or emulsions. Solid unit dosage forms can be capsules of the ordinary gelatin type containing, for example, surfactants, lubricants and inert fillers such as lactose, sucrose, and cornstarch or they can be sustained release preparations.
  • In another embodiment, the compounds of Formula I can be tableted with conventional tablet bases such as lactose, sucrose, and cornstarch in combination with binders, such as acacia, cornstarch, or gelatin, disintegrating agents such as potato starch or alginic acid, and a lubricant such as stearic acid or magnesium stearate. Liquid preparations are prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in an aqueous or non-aqueous pharmaceutically acceptable solvent which may also contain suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, and preservative agents as are known in the art.
  • For parenteral administration the compounds may be dissolved in a physiologically acceptable pharmaceutical carrier and administered as either a solution or a suspension. Illustrative of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are water, saline, dextrose solutions, fructose solutions, ethanol, or oils of animal, vegetative, or synthetic origin. The pharmaceutical carrier may also contain preservatives, buffers, etc., as are known in the art. When the compounds are being administered intrathecally, they may also be dissolved in cerebrospinal fluid as is known in the art.
  • The compounds of Formula I and the probenecid can be administered as two different pharmaceutical dosage forms. Alternatively, in order to increase patient convenience, the compounds and the probenecid may be compounded into a single pharmaceutical dosage form. These pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured utilizing techniques known in the art similar to those described above. Typically an antagonistic amount of the compound of Formula I and an effective amount of probenecid will be admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
  • As used in this application:
    • a) the term "patient" refers to warm blooded animals such as, for example, guinea pigs, mice, rats, cats, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, chimpanzees, and humans;
    • b) the term "treat" refers to the ability of the compounds to either relieve, alleviate, or slow the progression of the patient's disease or prophylactically prevent its occurrence or the manifestation of its symptoms;
    • c) the term "neurodegeneration" refers to a progressive death and disappearance of a population of nerve cells occurring in a manner characteristic of a particular disease state and leading to brain damage;
    • d) the phrase "concurrent administration" refers to administering the probenecid at an appropriate time so that it will potentiate the antagonistic effects of the compounds of Formula I. This may mean simultaneous administration or administration at appropriate but different times. Establishing such a proper dosing schedule will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art.
  • The compounds of Formula I may also be admixed with any inert carrier and utilized in laboratory assays in order to determine the concentration of the compounds within the serum, urine, etc., of the patient as is known in the art.
  • Neurodegenerative diseases are typically associated with a loss of NMDA receptors. Thus, the compounds of Formula I may be utilized in diagnostic procedures to aid physicians with the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The compounds may be labeled with imaging agents known in the art such as isotopic atoms and administered to a patient in order to determine whether the patient is exhibiting a decreased number of NMDA receptors and the rate at which that loss is occurring.

The reactants are typically stirred together at room temperature for a period of time ranging from 10-24 hours. The sulfonamide of structure (3) is recovered from the reaction zone by evaporation of the volatiles, optional acidification with a suitable acid such as hydrochloric acid, followed by filtration.
  • For those sulfonyl chlorides of structure (1) wherein A is a group represented by OH or B is represented by C(O)OR₁, wherein R₁ is hydrogen, it may be necessary to protect the appropriate functionality represented by A and/or B due to the conditions of the reaction sequence. The selection and utilization of appropriate protecting groups are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art and are described in "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", Theodora W. Greene, Wiley (1981).

  • For example, the appropriate sulfonamide of structure (3) is contacted with a molar excess of oxalyl chloride, phosgene or triphosgene. The reactants are typically stirred together at a temperature range of from room temperature to reflux and for a period of time ranging from 5-24 hours. The N-[(1-oxo-2-oxo-2-chloro)ethyl]-sulfonamide of structure (4) is recovered from the reaction zone by evaporation of the volatiles.
  • In step c, the appropriate N-[(1-oxo-2-oxo-2-chloro)ethyl]-sulfonamide of structure (4) is converted to the corresponding sulfonyl isocyanate of structure (5).
  • For example, the appropriate N-[(1-oxo-2-oxo-2-chloro)ethyl]-sulfonamide of structure (4) is contacted with an appropriate anhydrous organic solvent such as o-dichlorobenzene. The reactants are typically stirred together at reflux temperature for a period of time ranging from 5-24 hours. The sulfonyl isocyanate of structure (5) is recovered from the reaction zone by fractional distillation.
  • Alternatively, the appropriate sulfonamide of structure (3) can be converted to the corresponding sulfonyl isocyanate of structure (5) by combining step b and step c and using a catalytic amount of a C₁-C₄ alkyl or phenyl isocyanate according to the procedure cited in J.Org.Chem 31 2658-61 1966.
  • In step d, the appropriate sulfonyl isocyanate of structure (5) is reacted with an appropriate 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline of structure (6) to give the appropriate 4-sulfonimide-1,4-dihydroquinoline of structure (7).
  • For example, the appropriate sulfonyl isocyanate of structure (5) is contacted with a slight molar deficiency of an appropriate 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline of structure (6). The reactants are typically contacted in a polar anhydrous organic solvent such as acetonitrile or propionitrile. The reactants are typically stirred together for a period of time ranging from 4-24 hours and at a temperature range of from room temperature to reflux. The 4-sulfonimide-1,4-dihydroquinoline of structure (7) is recovered from the reaction zone by filtration or other methods known in the art. It may be purified by recrystallization as is known in the art.
  • In optional step e, the ester or amide functionality of the appropriate 4-sulfonimide-1,4-dihydroquinolines of structure (7) is hydrolyzed to give the corresponding 4-sulfonimide-1,4-dihydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acids of structure (8).
  • For example, the appropriate 4-sulfonimide-1,4-dihydroquinoline of structure (7) wherein D is a group represented by C(O)OR₁ and R₁ is a C₁-C₆ alkyl is contacted with a suitable base, such as lithium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. The reactants are typically stirred together for a period of time ranging from 2-24 hours and at a temperature range of from room temperature to reflux.
